Saturday I caught the stomach bug that swept through my family. Thought I missed it but somehow it caught up to me. Thankfully I only experienced stomach cramps and pains and general malaise but I felt awful for 30+ hours. I was going to do a long run Saturday afternoon but alas. Now it's Wednesday and I still don't feel 100%. I was going to run at lunch time but my legs feel really heavy (even while sitting down) and I'm generally really tired. Not sure what's going on. I'm starting to get really anxious to get back to a schedule but now my body won't cooperate. Grrr. Happy Halloween all.

Read a bit about tired legs and decided that exercise was the best way to combat that feeling. Not sure if it will back fire on me tomorrow, but oh well. It felt good to get out and run. On my way back I saw the Boot Campers running around the block so I followed them inside and alternated working out a station and running the next turn, so got in another mile. I haven't done anything besides run for months & months so I'm sure I'll be super sore tomorrow. Ran without a watch so no idea of AP.

I believe this is the first time this fall that I've laced up the shoes for a sub 40 degree run. I'm getting there mentally. Got up at 6 and headed out for a nice dark run. I like my new headlamp and the bright light it puts out.

4 gorgeous miles under a full moon with scattered clouds. It rained overnight so the air was crisp and the stars were bright. Ran without a headlamp most of the way. No watch. Lovely. I think I can now say "I'm baaack". It took me long enough.

Weekly mileage above 20. Wahoo! What a milestone.

Beautiful morning. Ran up my harder-than-Veyo hill without stopping. #BeastMode.
